Natural Beauty


Each of these shots were captured by my husband.


It's Been Awhile...

...and a lot has happened since my last post.  Our family of seven has grown to a family of eight and we have welcomed Emma Grace into our family and our hearts. She has blessed us immensely with her beautifully joyful spirit. Each day she grows and accomplishes something new and it is simply amazing to just sit and watch her. Ava has settled nicely into the role of "big sister". She loves her "little sister" and is always nearby to tickle, cuddle or giggle with her.  I am so grateful that they are developing such a beautiful relationship--such fast friends. I thank God that I have been given the gift of being the mom of each of these wonderfully made girls and young women. I am even more thankful for being given the privilege of being the wife of the one my heart loves.

Inspiration

....I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.  Phillipians 4:8 MSG

Texting and Driving?


Today I am asking all of you to do something for yourselves and everyone else out there. Please do not text and drive! This morning I was headed to the grocery store --(a pretty uneventful trip, oh so I thought) when suddenly a car crosses over the yellow line and is headed straight for the two cars in front of me and then me before swerving back into its lane. As this was occurring I just repeated over and over "Oh my God, Oh my God!" Thankfully by God's merciful grace, none of us were involved in a head on collision as we all swerved off the road, one by one while the other car took over our lane. As I continued on to the grocery store, I was literally shaking from the experience and also pretty upset. So I am asking everyone to please consider the consequences of checking that message or sending that text while you are driving, it could just cost you or someone else their life!
